Abstract excerpt
The construction of a mutant Escherichia coli strain which cannot synthesize phosphatidylethanolamine provides a tool to study the involvement of non-bilayer lipids in membrane function. This strain produces phosphatidylglycerol and cardiolipin (CL) as major membrane constituents and requires millimolar concentrations of divalent cations for growth. In this strain, the lipid phase behaviour is tightly regulated...
